The Vintage Cellar's Review: "30% malolactic fermentation, 30% was aged in French oak barrels. Brilliant yellow golden color with green hints. The wine is crisp and filled with white peach, pear, green apples flavors, toasty vanilla. Elegant and luscious wine, well balanced. Crisp and long finish. Pairs well with creamy soups, pork, veal, vegetables."
My Review: This chardonnay was buttery on the nose, and slightly sour. The flavor was rich and complex. It was very creamy with a tart lemon essence starting out. Peach and apricot flavors came after that, leaving a light, fresh aftertaste that reminded me of a peach Jollyrancher. I was impressed by the range of flavors and textures in this wine, and by how smoothly they blended from buttery, to tart and creamy, to sweet and fruity.
This wine was tasted without food.
